One day of making a difference in my life…..

You are tired. It is dark outside as you pull up into the driveway. Your hard contact lense irritated eyes feel like they are about to explode. You drag your heavy backpack of books and toss it into or onto the first piece of furniture you walk by. You are hungry but the kitchen is clean and you do not want to make a mess. You are too tired to lift that seemingly heavy cooking pan or wash up afterwards. Days like today are what microwaves, Chinet bowls, and 79 cent cans of Piggly Wiggly brand Spaghetti-O’s are made for. You heat your meal, kick off your shoes, and get drawn in by your comfy lazy boy recliner. You turn on the T.V. as you eat to see which lady meteorologist on the Weather Channel has lost more weight, had a fashion disaster of a day, or redid their hairdos. You are oh, so tired, but you are content. You feel you made a difference and everyday like today draws you closer to your goals. One day at a time, my man, and someday you might just get to be a social worker.
